The August edition of the SPF bulletin includes our response to the NHS People Plan, plans for the winter flu programme and a call for ideas around reducing bureaucracy in health and social care.

In this meeting of the SPF Wider Group, partners received the headlines from the NHS People Plan, an update on the NHSEI work programme to address the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on BME staff, and heard the latest on the COVID-19 test and trace app.
